Alabama.gov visitors expressed their opinions about changes for the
site; in return, the state listened and took action. Utilizing visitor
feedback and analytical data, the site’s homepage now provides
information on popular topics users want most. In addition, visitors
will be able to navigate through the site more efficiently than ever
before with enhanced menu options. Also, if using
a tablet or a mobile device, the Alabama.gov site conforms to the
size of the user’s screen, creating the best user experience possible
for visitors on the go or at home.

Among many other enhancements, the site features a geo-location enabled
map. This geo-location service, if enabled, will allow the map to zoom
in to the users’ current location, to see hospitals, probate offices and
State parks in their immediate surrounding area, without having to move
the map around to find their current location. An animated weather
conditions feature has also been included in the re-design, and shows
statewide weather conditions along with a three-day forecast.

The Alabama.gov website was redesigned at no cost to taxpayers through
Alabama Interactive’s partnership with the State via a competitively bid
contract which allows the company to provide eGovernment applications
and services to state agencies, boards, commissions, political
subdivisions, local government agencies and quasi-government agencies
within the state of Alabama. Alabama Interactive also works with more
than 60 state agencies, managing over 200 online applications through a
self-funded model.
